This 3-Layer Dessert Will Make You Want To Slap Your Momma!

If you’re looking for a dessert that’s going to sweep you and all your guests off your feet, I guarantee this is it. I’ve never had anything nearly as delicious as these bars with such a funny name; nanaimo. I don’t know what that means but I think it might be “the heavenly dessert bar that will pamper your taste buds and make you sing hallelujah”!

Even though you need three different layers for this dessert, it’s not that difficult to make. The instructions are very straight forward and the end result is definitely worth the effort.

When you’re making the bottom layer, be careful so that you don’t add the egg when the cocoa mixture is too hot. If it seems too hot, let it cool for a while first or the egg will curdle. Another trick for it would be to slowly beat some of the cocoa mixture into the egg first, a little at a time. Trust me – that’s the only tricky part about this recipe!

Is This Your Grandmother’s Recipe?

I’m sure we all feel that our grandmothers are the best cooks and bakers the world has ever seen. There is something magical about their cooking, isn’t there? They hardly ever use any special ingredients, just the very everyday stuff you can always find in your pantry. Yet, they come up with the most amazing dishes, cakes and treats you could ever think of.

My grandma was just like that. She lived to be 97 and I know she saw some hard times, too, so that must have been one of the reasons why she learned to be very creative with her recipes. This cookie recipe instantly reminded me of her. She used to make cookies very similar to these, and the whole family loved them.

Six ingredients is all you need to make these and chances are, you probably already have these at hand. Some people consider these “holiday cookies” and I have to admit, I always make these during the holidays. However, these are so delicious they deserve to be enjoyed year ’round!

Quick Tip: This recipe makes about 20-25 cookies (of course, depending on the shape and size of your cookie cutters).

I thought these types of things only happen in books and movies, but it also happens in real life. A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I both finally had a free weekend together so we wanted to spend it spoiling each other by relaxing together or doing favors for each other. One thing I always appreciated was when he cooked something special, something different that I hadn’t tasted before. He made this dish that he discovered over at Southern Bite. It was a version of what his mom used to cook before, but it has a different twist to it.

He used cauliflower, something that I wasn’t a fan of, but I always trusted him to make a special meal for me. He’s a much better cook than me! He grew up cooking while I just learned to cook in college. The wonderful aroma started infusing the air that I couldn’t wait to eat what he just cooked. When he called me to the kitchen, I was already excited. But even before I reached the kitchen, the doorbell rang and I answered it. It was one of our neighbors. She told us she has a mini impromptu party in her house and that we’re invited. I couldn’t say No. The dinner the boyfriend cooked for me ended up being shared by twenty people that night. I managed to get a taste though. And I wasn’t wrong when I said he’s one super home chef.

These Are The Easiest (Yet Most Delicious) Cinnamon Rolls You Will Ever Make

I am a huge fan of cinnamon rolls. You have no idea how much I absolutely love them. One of my favorite things to do is go to an Amish farm about 30 minutes away from my home and stand in line for over 3 hours (yep, you read that right, over 3 hours!!) for a dozen of their amazing cinnamon rolls. You might think it is crazy, but these cinnamon rolls are totally worth it. Nowadays, it has become a little harder to make it out there as often as I would like for a dozen cinnamon rolls. It is just so much harder to find the time to stand in line for that!

But, after a few searches online, I think I have found the recipe that although will likely not replace those Amish cinnamon rolls, they come to a close second! I have tried these over and over again, and let me tell you friends: they are fool proof!

There is no way to mess these up, for real! On top of the easiness, they are so delicious! The biscuit dough with loads of cinnamon sugar make for a delicious topping over It all! I absolutely love how these turn out!

This apple blueberry cobbler with a decadent almond topping is a recipe for the books! Not only is this dessert super sweet, rich, and buttery, but it contains a very special ingredient. Are you ready for this? Ok, here it goes, biscuits! Yes, you read that right, this amazing dessert is loaded with soft and puffy biscuits.

Now, I’m a bit of an old-fashioned kinda gal, so I topped the biscuits with oatmeal. I just can’t eat my cobbler without an oatmeal crust, but you don’t have to do this if you don’t want too. In fact, many have raved about how great this recipe is with just the biscuit and almond topping. Pick your poison; it’s your cobbler creation!

Big family dinner coming up? I bet you know what your entree is going to be, but have you decided on the side dish yet? Most people go for a typical green-bean casserole for a nice and easy side dish, but why not spice it up, and pre-portion out individual, cutely wrapped, servings?  It’s a stylish alternative to the classic recipe.

The beans are blanched, so they still retain the majority of their nutrients and flavor. Tucked beneath the crisp, smoky bacon, is a sweet prune, melded to the bean stocks by a creamy almond butter. It’s all the flavors of a typical green bean side dish, but laced together elegantly. This is such an easy way to turn a basic side dish into a show stopper – you’ll wow your dinner guest for sure, when you bring these out!
